No, No, No. At least use a choc block, but the best way is to solder the two wires together. Never, ever, just wrap the two wires together. That's the recipe for high resistance. :)

Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
 

It's the wrong bulb. It needs to be a 12v 1.7w bulb. You can get the correct bulb from Partszill.com. It's number 9 in the schematic. I've never used them so I can't vouch for them.

Edit:

It's Suzuki part number 09471-12108

Yes first get the good bulb. You will see, everything will work like it should, and you don't need a 'new ground'.

Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
 

Ok I haven't done anything to it yet.

Ok I'll try the 1.7 watt bulb first

And if that doesn't work I'll solder the grounds together if need be, hopefully I won't need to.

Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
 

The reason you need the exact wattage bulbs is the path the current takes through the warning light, and the two signal bulbs. It's designed, with the flasher unit, for the combined resistances to make it work correctly. If anything's not working (such as a bulb) the warning light flashes erratically, or not at all, to show you that there's something wrong.

Hopefully that does the trick! I thought the 3.4 watt bulb listed on the manual was the right one. I guess it means it puts out 3.4 watts for it to work right it using a 1.7 watt signal indicator bulb

Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
 

I tried a couple local auto parts stores for this 1.7watt mini bulb at autozone and an advance they had 1.1watt and 1.3watt but none 1.7watt.
I'll keep searching online for local pickup but a lot of places don't specify the exact specs or say wattage on the bulb sometimes.
If there's a place I can just pick it up tonight its 430pm where I am, that would be great.
Understandably parts found at these places are geared towards cars and autos.

I'll order online if I can't get it today in person

I found one at a familiar website I bought lots of parts from when I had my scooter.

I ordered from partzilla so I'l just have to wait

Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
 

It was backordered! It won't be shipped until Thursday! I haven't thought about it until now I'll check the other mini bulbs to see if they are right or not.

On page 228 it says speedometer light 1.7watts
Neutral indicator light 3.4 watts
Turn signal indicator light 3.4 watts
High beam indicator light 1.7watts

According to this I have the right Turn signal indicator bulb in right now. Unless its supposed to be a 1.7watt.
If I can get to the high beam indicator light or speedometer light easy, I'll try to swap it and see what happens.

Re: Rejected inspection: front turn signals
 

I ordered one 1.7watt bulb from both Partzilla and Partsforscooters.

And I can tell you Partsforscooters has good service and they ship quickly especially on this order.

I ordered off Partzilla first sunday expected Monday or Tuesday it would get shipped, it was backordered so it won't be shipped until Thursday.

Partsfor scooters I ordered yesterday at 11am it got shipped out same day and according to tracking I should get it tomorrow Wednesday, a day sooner than partzilla could get it in backordered.

I looked on Partsforscooters and there's obviously not much parts for GZ owners other than some light bulbs and spark plugs and a few other things
